A Note from the Editor
We are excited to present the newest edition of Employee Benefits for Employers. The lead item is an analysis of recent litigation trends involving loss causation, an important burden-of-proof issue in ERISA fiduciary claims, by René Thorne and Eugene Ubawike. Next, is a thoughtful review of ERISA issues in the M&A context, offering practical advice on identifying and minimizing potential exposures that might otherwise accompany your company's next big transaction, by Alec Nealon, Melissa Ostrower, and Kathryn Wheeler. Our Featured Lawyer is Monique Warren in our White Plains office, who tells us a little about her benefits practice (and her two Texas Longhorns, Rayford and Annabelle). As always, we offer concise summaries of recent employee benefits developments to help you stay abreast of this rapidly changing field. Be sure to check out the recent activities and upcoming events, as well as honorees recognized by Chambers USA in its 2017-18 edition. Congratulations to them, and thanks to the clients and friends of the firm who let Chambers know about their excellent work. We hope you enjoy the issue!
